About
More than learning new tech. A place to build together.
DevFest Medan is where developers, designers, founders, and students meet, work together, and turn ideas into things that ship.
What is DevFest?
A global community tradition, made in Medan.
DevFest is the flagship annual gathering powered worldwide by Google Developer Groups. Chapters around the world host their own, and each one reflects the community that builds it.
DevFest Medan 2026 is a one-day event focused on hands-on workshops, with expert corners, networking, and an exhibition designed to unite local developers and inspire problem solvers.
